elite time trial kit water aerodynamic bottle and carbon fiber cage for road bikes and bicycles

Elite debuted their Time Trial Kit water bottle and carbon fiber cage at the 2009 Giro d’Italia on Team Columbia-Highroad’s bikes during the opening stage team time trial.  Priced at about $110 in the US, it ain’t cheap, but it claims to save you 28 seconds (over a 40km distance) because it was developed using “the same wind-tunnel testing techniques employed by Formula One and Moto GP racing professionals.”

Total weight of the system is just 80g.  The squeeze bottle has a rubber nozzle and snaps into the cage and is said to have easy extraction. Consider it the gift for the cyclist who has everything.
